The Making of An Easter Egg
To be honest, I entered into this Easter season with some trepidation. You see, I have a 2 year old. As a first time mom I am learning lots of stuff on the fly, but I think veteran moms would agree with my estimation that toddlers and dye just aren’t a good combination. At all.
So, big sigh of relief when Grammy and GrammyDaddy sent us the perfect Easter Egg kit.
Imagine my excitement to find the kit was dye optional! It was packed with all sorts of fun stickers, markers, and googley eyes by which to assemble the perfect Easter egg. No time was wasted tearing into the box!
We spent the afternoon coloring the eggs to perfection…
…and meticulously placing stickers on each egg.
Then as quick as the decorating began, it ended with the realization that eggs are for eating!
The concept that Easter eggs are for decoration is a hard thing to grasp. With great reluctance, the eggs were placed back into their bowl.
In the end, Gwendolyn had a blast. Our Easter eggs were created with lots of fun and imagination and most importantly, not one drop of dye! Thanks Grammy and GrammyDaddy for the perfect gift.
What Easter traditions do you share with your family?
Very fun photos! Love it!! (& the red bowl
… I bought some coloring this year for eggs but haven’t figured out a time yet to do it– one kind gives it a marble effect!
I like to– 1) I hang some PLASTIC but cute, german decorated eggs (better for kids, huh?) on a natural corkscrew willow branch in my large window sill!
2) another special thing I did last night was w/ some collegiates who wanted to celebrate Good Friday– they organized it all & came to my place to sing worship songs, celebrate Lord’s Supper & then watch DVD, Passion of Christ. A meaningful evening. For that I put out a red table cloth on my coffee table, with 3 candles, 2 decorative crosses & a white wreath that reminds me of the crown of thorns a little (can also be used at Christmas and other occasions just as a wreath).
WOW! What great celebration ideas! Happy Easter!
